283 discs and pads for fast road/odd track day
Hi guys, what discs and pads do you suggest for my gti-6 calipers. Mainly road use but will do the odd track day. Also any suggestions on what I should run on the rear calipers. Cheers

Personally i'd recommend just buying some new discs and some yellowstuff pads for the front. The rear will be fine standard.

Agreed. I use the cheapest discs my motor factors can get in and Yellowstuff pads with my 283mm setup. Never had any problems.

Try standard pads or something like mintex 1144 on the rear. I would try the mintex 1144 on the front as well as the larger gti-6 pads will run cooler than standard vts stuff.

Kam, on the Mintez 1144 would you run some OEM/basic discs like Pagid?

To be honest on a saxo i would run good brand oem discs whatever the pad compound. OE discs are cheap. We sell the brembo ones which you can be sure on the material quality but there are other good brands
